I graduated from the University of Delaware with a B.S. in biochemistry in 2024.  My interest in RNA therapeutics was first realized during an internship with Eli Lilly's Department of Genetic Medicine. Currently, my projects center around the development of capped circular mRNAs and nucleotide modifications to improve the stability and translation efficiency of mRNA. Outside of the lab I enjoy ballet, hiking, gardening, and crafting.
